Care, for us, has always been about more than results.
At Sage & Ylang, our work begins with skin — understanding its rhythms, its need for balance, and its ability to recover when supported gently and consistently. Over time, this way of thinking has shaped not just how we formulate, but how we show up as a brand.
Because skin doesn’t exist in isolation. Neither do we.
Every ingredient, every raw material, every daily ritual is connected to wider natural systems — soil, water, forests, air. When those systems are under strain, the effects ripple outward, often quietly at first. And just like skin, once balance is disrupted, restoration takes time.
That perspective is what led us to support One Tree Planted.
Forests play a foundational role in maintaining environmental stability. They help regulate climate, support biodiversity, protect water cycles, and provide livelihoods for communities. Reforestation isn’t about instant fixes — it’s about creating conditions for ecosystems to slowly rebuild resilience.
That idea feels familiar to us.
In skincare, we often talk about doing less, choosing wisely, and prioritising long-term stability over quick transformation. Supporting reforestation reflects the same mindset. It’s not about claiming to “save” anything. It’s about participating responsibly, in a way that aligns with our values.
Through our contribution, Sage & Ylang supports tree-planting initiatives that help restore forests where they are needed most. It’s a small part of a much larger global effort — and that’s exactly how meaningful change usually works.
Quietly. Gradually. Collectively.
We don’t see sustainability as a destination or a badge. It’s an ongoing practice — one that evolves as we learn more and do better. Supporting One Tree Planted is one of the ways we extend care beyond formulation, acknowledging that skin health and environmental health are deeply intertwined.
As always, we believe in transparency. Our Tree Certificate acknowledging this contribution is available to view the certificate here.
Thank you for being part of a community that values thoughtful care — for skin, and for the world it lives in.
FAQ
Why does Sage & Ylang support One Tree Planted?
We believe care should extend beyond skin. Supporting reforestation is one way we acknowledge the connection between healthy ecosystems and long-term wellbeing. Forests play a critical role in maintaining environmental balance, which ultimately affects the ingredients we use and the world we live in.
What is One Tree Planted?
One Tree Planted is a global non-profit organization focused on reforestation and forest restoration worldwide. They work with local partners to plant trees in areas affected by deforestation, supporting ecosystems, biodiversity, and communities.
Does this mean Sage & Ylang is a “sustainable” or “eco-perfect” brand?
No. We don’t view sustainability as a fixed status. It’s an ongoing process of learning, improving, and making more thoughtful decisions over time. Supporting One Tree Planted is one step within that broader journey.
How does tree planting connect to skincare?
Much like skin, ecosystems rely on balance and long-term support. Reforestation helps restore natural systems gradually, rather than offering quick fixes. This mirrors our skincare philosophy: stability first, with results that follow over time.
Is this a one-time initiative?
Our intention is to approach environmental responsibility as a continuous practice, not a one-off campaign. We aim to integrate these considerations thoughtfully as the brand evolves.
